Read about that this morning. Incredible, although she did walk some of it... |

the thing that amazes me is that her doctor told her to go ahead as long as she ran half and walked half. surely the best advice would've been to sit at home eating chocolate and go to hospital when the contractions start?

"Avoid isotonic drinks if you're exercising for less than 60 minutes. You don't need them because the carb reserve in muscles and the liver sustains us for an hour. Rehydrate with water instead. "
Eh? Isotonic drinks are important to rehydrate and replace lost electrolytes - not really for restoring lost carbs. 60-minutes of aerobic activity on a hot day and an isotonic drink would be just the ticket.

story loses all credibility is paragraph 1 when talking about having butter in your burger. that's why the bird writing it put on weight Pretty sure all of it's credibility was gone by here: "Many of us take up jogging to help lose weight. But the latest research shows it could have just the opposite effect." Statements like this actually make all research lose credibility. I didn't read the whole article but got the general idea. Was it actually research or was it just some greedy bird who loves burgers and is claiming that running makes her eat more of them because she needs a food reward after doing anything that requires some effort? |

Meh, if they take it away (because there were male pacemakers - that she didn't ask for) it will become a "World's Best. She'll still be the fastest ever female marathon runner, and by some margin. But yes, bet she's excited about running with the one and only Mr Spinks. Probably the highlight of her career? |

rather amusing tonight watching the security guard at the olympic stadium as 105 people in matching black tops ran towards him. think he though it was some sort of flash mob terrorism
paula radcliffe is surprisingly funny. talked about how if she'd known that her second fastest time was going to actually end up as the world record then she wouldn't have made that famous pit stop at the side of the road
got loads of really nice sandwiches too
